The second period of architectural development in Payson, Utah, occurred between 1875 and 1890. This was the first significant phase of development in the city's business district. Some of the first substantial storefronts replaced many of the earlier frame buildings. There have been forty-seven buildings that are identified with this period. A more elaborate example of the commercial district is the former Payson Savings and Loan Building, located at 7 South Main. Read more about this and other buildings from this period in the next edition of The Payson Chronicle.
